    Rallisport Challenge
    It looks fantastic, it controls well, and it’s the kind of meaty gaming experience that could keep you busy for weeks. Be warned, though, the difficulty here is off the scale.

    JSRF: Jet Set Radio Future
    Graphically, Jet Set Radio Future is one of the most gorgeous games to grace a console.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    MechAssault
    The control and missions revolve around simply blowing things up, but after the novelty of reducing everything to a cinder fades, what players are left with is an average shooter.

    Half-Life
    Dead on, sporting nearly every feature that made the original game so great.
    • 87 Metascore

    Guilty Gear X2
    Beautiful. Stunning. Gorgeous. A heart stopping, melt-in-your-pants looker. High resolution sprites and meticulously animated everything combine to make one hell of an enjoyable visual mess.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves
    The appeal lies in stringing together simple moves into devastating combinations, not memorizing counterintuitive button sequences.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Aggressive Inline
    The most competent Tony Hawk mimic yet.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    World Series Baseball
    WSB for the Xbox feels much more like an upgrade than a complete overhaul...This game is easily the best baseball game on the market, but as fans of the genre know, that's not really saying much.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Kingdom Hearts
    Almost every individual aspect of the game except for the camera is well executed, but the two key components of the title still don't go seem to belong together.

    Hot Shots Golf 3
    A top-notch golf game perfect for anyone looking to make some digital divots.

    Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II
    It gives players a large variety of options for both online and offline play and provides hours of gameplay with two long quests, numerous side-quests and several multiplayer modes. [Import]

    Maximo: Ghosts to Glory
    Although unforgiving design elements detract a bit from the overall fun factor, Maximo remains an exceptionally enjoyable and well-made game.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Skies of Arcadia Legends
    The story is only average for a RPG (make that above average if you love the air pirates setting), the combat system is mildly interesting but lacks much in the way of depth and the presentation is a bit dated.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Splashdown
    With intuitive control, superb graphics, and a catchy soundtrack, Splashdown is an excellent Jet Ski racing game.

    • 100 Critic Score
    Sega Soccer Slam
    Attention to detail is the name of the game. Despite the over-the-top premise, this is one of the richest titles released in sometime.

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon
    A great game... [but y]ou'll need to ask yourself if your attention span can tolerate a game requiring planning and strategy with sporadic action as the payoff.

    Unreal Championship
    A choppy framerate and a low resolution display (for those of us who haven't yet upgraded to HDTV) keep UC from matching its PC counterpart.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht
    With an enchanting soundtrack by Yasunori Mitsuda and the London Philharmonic Orchestra, exciting turn based combat, and 80 hours of gameplay, there is a lot to like about this RPG.

    • 75 Critic Score
    The Sims
    With the recent release of the online Sims for the PC, the PS2 port seems to fall short of greatness. Especially when you add in the slowdown issues and repetitive gameplay.

    All-Star Baseball 2003
    A big step in the right direction.

    Frequency
    This game is different, addictive, fun, and the multiplayer and remix modes ensures nearly infinite replay value.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Gitaroo Man
    The music alone will draw you back for a few repeat plays, just don’t expect it to last much longer than a single rental period.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Sega GT 2002
    Although the handling is solid, and the visuals sport some cool effects, the inclusion of only 12 tracks does serious damage to the lasting appeal.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter
    The added force powers are handy, but they don’t dramatically change the way the game is played.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance
    It's still not a very deep gaming experience, but this latest installment is clearly the best since "Mortal Kombat 2," and arguably the best yet.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    NHL Hitz 20-03
    A very solid and entertainingly violent approximation of hockey that has its weak points (sound, fighting) but overall hits the spot just right.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Pro Race Driver
    The action is heated enough to hold your attention and the cool touches like a fantastic damage engine make it all worthwhile.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    FIFA Soccer 2002
    Despite the control flaws and graphic blemishes this game is a marvelous presentation of soccer, albeit slightly watered down for the masses.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001
    Although Capcom vs. SNK 2 doesn’t break any new ground, there is enough depth here to keep any 2D fighting game fan happy.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Deus Ex: The Conspiracy
    A problem-solving mission structure that rewards the player for lateral thinking, as well as an immersive world and a great story. I'm not sure if it'll win Game of the Year this time around, but it definitely deserves to be in the running.
